2. Alabam
Alabama’s humid subtropical climate provides the perfect habitat for 93 native reptile species, 49 of which are snakes. The state’s five distinct physiographic regions, ranging from coastal plains to mountainous areas, support a rich diversity of snake species. While most of Alabama’s snakes are nonvenomous, it’s essential to learn to distinguish them from the six venomous species, such as the copperhead and cottonmouth. Education and awareness can help reduce unnecessary fear and ensure safety when encountering these reptiles.
